The South Yorkshire Forest is an exciting vision for our local environment. Covering 195 square miles, the forest is a mix of wooded landscapes, towns, cities, meadows and farmland, where people live and work. The forest was launched in 1991 and is actively supported by Barnsley MBC, Rotherham MBC, Sheffield City Council, the Countryside Agency and the Forestry Commission.

Since its inception, huge changes have already been achieved. The parnership aims to continue increasing woodland planting and management, protecting wildlife, helping to brig in new jobs by assisting economic regeneration and improving the quality of life for people living in, working in or vising South Yorkshire.

National Tree Week is the Tree Council's festival to mark the start of the tree planting season, and a nationwide celebration of trees and woods.

National Tree Week: 26th November - 7th December 2003
